BP OIL REFINERY
Snapshot
In support of BP’s renewable energy innovation, DEMEX was engaged by EnerMech to dismantle and remove a full-scale hydrogen power station prototype at BP’s operational oil refinery in Pinkenba, Queensland. Delivered within a live, high-risk industrial environment, the project required full compliance with BP’s strict safety, environmental, and operational protocols. The prototype served as a test model for future hydrogen infrastructure and was dismantled with a focus on safe sequencing, environmental performance, and material recovery.

Project Scope
Works included the systematic removal of loose fixtures and salvageable plant equipment, followed by structural demolition. A third party structural engineer was engaged to provide oversight on the temporary propping of the tilt panels and staged demolition sequence. Following roof removal and steel framework deconstruction, the concrete tilt panels, slabs, and hardstands were methodically demolished using mechanical equipment. Final site remediation ensured the area was cleared with minimal disruption to ongoing refinery operations.
Project Highlights
-
Complex demolition within a live refinery, completed under stringent safety, environmental, and stakeholder management protocols.
-
Sustainable outcomes achieved, with over 95% of waste materials salvaged or recycled, aligning with BP’s environmental targets.
- Strong stakeholder coordination, with DEMEX working collaboratively with EnerMech, BP, and Chiyoda Corporation to deliver the project safely and efficiently
